Plot summary

The film begins in a prologue, detailing how Vlad III the Impaler defeated an "overwhelming" Turkish force invading his homeland in 1462 (see the Night Attack) only to return home to find his beloved wife Elisabeta dead, having committed suicide upon hearing the false reports of Vlad's death in battle. Dracula, a stout Christian, immediately flew into a rage upon being informed by priests that her soul is eternally damned as a suicide, and in a rage desecrates a chapel and renounces God, declaring he will rise from the grave to avenge her death with all the powers of darkness. The icons in the church cry blood, the candles drip it and the crucifix stabbed by Dracula bleeds it into a chalice, from which he drinks it, finalizing his promise.

Four centuries later, Jonathan Harker, an assistant real estate agent, travels to the mountains of Transylvania to arrange the transfer of Carfax Abbey in London, Count Dracula's (Oldman) newest real estate acquisition. Harker was sent because the previous agent, Renfield (Waits) had returned from Transylvania insane. Upon arriving at the castle, Harker notices its bizarre, unnatural features, a place where shadows move by themselves and sometimes things (like drops of perfume) fall up. He also meets the equally bizarre Count Dracula, himself a wrinkled, pale old man in a brilliant red robe.

During the final signing of the real estate papers, the Count notices a picture of Harker's fiancée Wilhelmina "Mina" Murray (Ryder), whom the Count mentions bears a striking resemblance to his dead wife, Elisabeta. He tells Harker to write to her, telling her that Harker will remain in Transylvania for one month. Harker is surprised at the order but agrees to it, not wishing to fall out of favor with the wealthy and presumably powerful Count. After a period of time Dracula imprisons Harker, where he is enticed by Dracula's insatiable, beautiful, and bloodthirsty Brides.

Dracula's nocturnal feedings from Lucy (Sadie Frost) have caused noticeable changes in her behavior and obvious deteriorating health. The three men who are courting for her hand, Quincey Morris (Campbell), Dr. John Seward (Grant) and Arthur Holmwood (Elwes), grow increasingly worried. Seward (whose asylum includes among its inmates Renfield) summons his old friend Dr. Abraham Van Helsing (Hopkins). Van Helsing performs a blood transfusion with Arthur (Lucy's fiancee) then the other two men as donors. But he recognizes also that Lucy is the victim of a Vampire.

Harker escapes from Castle Dracula and makes his way to a convent from which he sends word to Mina. She leaves to join and marry him, leaving a note for her "Prince" (as Dracula had introduced himself) that she must never see him again. Grief-stricken and enraged, Dracula breaks into the Westenra house and kills Lucy, cursing her to be as he is; A blood-drinking monster, who must wander the Earth eternally seeking to satisfy an insatiable thirst.

But by now Van Helsing has learned precisely what is happening. He brings Arthur, Seward and Quincey to the family crypt where they see Lucy return to her tomb. She has fangs and a bloody mouth and seems to have been feeding off a small child. Horrified, Arthur drives a stake through her heart.

When Harker (now with gray hair from his ordeal) returns with Mina, he is recruited to hunt down Dracula. He joins Van Helsing, Seward, Quincey and Arthur in going to Carfax Abbey to consecrate the boxes of soil there, making it impossible for Dracula to use them. But the Count sees them. Taking the form of a green mist, he goes to Seward's asylum and kills Renfield for his betrayal, then enters the bedchamber where Mina sleeps. At first barely awake she eagerly welcomes him, but he insists upon telling her the truth – he is dead, a hunted creature, the one who murdered her friend Lucy. But despite her rage at this, Mina still loves him. She begs to become like him, to be with him. He at first tries to resist, but she insists. When the group of Vampire Hunters burst into the bedroom, they find Mina drinking Dracula's blood from his chest. Assuming the form of a bat-like demon, Dracula faces off against them. He insists he was betrayed by God. Then, proclaiming "She is my Bride!" he retreats into the shadows and transforms again into a horde of rats that flee out the window.

Mina begins to change the same way Lucy had. Van Helsing hypnotizes her and learns via the connection between her and Dracula that the latter is returning to his home by ship. The five Hunters plan on trying to reach the port of Varna before him via train. But Dracula reads Mina's mind and gives them the slip. Finally, they split up. Van Helsing and Mina go directly to the Borgo Pass and the Castle, while the others try to stop the Gypsies transporting Dracula. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

At night, encamped before the castle, Mina begins to change as the Brides hover nearby. Mina attempts to seduce Van Helsing and almost succeeds. She bares fangs, trying to bite him but he reacts by touching her forehead with a piece of Holy Wafer. This sears her flesh and snaps her out of it. The Brides try to attack, but cannot get too close because of Van Helsing's cross. Instead, they devour the horses.

When the chase between the Hunters and the Gypsies carrying Dracula nears the Castle, Mina finds she doesn't need binoculars to see things far away. Dracula, sensing her presence, tells her what to do. Speaking Romanian, she summons a kind of blue flame from the earth around the castle (first seen when Harker arrived) which rises to the clouds and causes winds. This impedes the Hunters, but they press on. As the fight rages, racing against sunset, the carriage carrying Dracula pulls into the courtyard.

The sun sets soon after the last Gypsy dies. Dracula bursts out of his box as Harker cuts open his throat. Almost at the same moment, a mortally wounded Quincey drives his bowie knife into Dracula's chest. The vampire staggers, but Mina fends off the men with a rifle.

Inside, in the very chapel where he renounced God, Dracula lies wounded. He is aged again, and his face contorted to that of a demon. But Mina tries to pull the knife from his heart, and calls him "My love," kissing him. At the moment, the candles in the chapel light on their own. The desecrations Dracula committed on the altar repair. Dracula himself becomes young and his face that of a human being. He says to her "Give me peace," and she drives the knife all the way through his heart. Dracula dies. Mina pulls out the knife and beheads him, then with tearful eyes looks up.

Deviations from the novel

This list is not exhaustive, but intended to convey a sense of the differences between the film and the novel: This article is about motion pictures. ... This article is about the literary concept. ...

• Dracula is explicitly identified with Vlad Ţepeş ("The Impaler") and given a specific backstory as to how he came to be a vampire. (In the novel, it is implied that he was transformed at the Scholomance).
• Dracula has no reflection, but he does cast a shadow in the movie, which seems to have some physical weight and often moves about on its own.
• Dracula and his brides speak Romanian to each other rather than English.
• When Mina follows a sleepwalking Lucy, she finds her actually having intercourse with Dracula as he feeds upon her. In the novel, Mina simply follows Lucy during her sleepwalking without any intercourse between Lucy and Dracula taking place.
• Mina, represented as the reincarnation of Dracula's first wife, falls in love with him, and prevents the others from killing him in the end. She herself delivers the killing blow, at his request.
• Dracula kills Lucy at least partially out of revenge for Mina having left him to marry Harker.
• The characters of Mrs. Westenra and Lord Godalming (Arthur's father) are omitted in the film, and Mr. Hawkins (Jonathan's boss and father figure) is never seen again after an early appearance in the movie.

Vlad Tepes redirects here. ... The Scholomance was a mythical school of black magic said to have been run by the Devil, located by Lake Hermanstadt near the city of Sibiu in the Transylvania region of Romania. ...

Deviations from history

• Dracula's dragon crest or sigil is entirely original (although the historical "Order of the Dragon" did use a dragon as their symbol). Likewise, his red wolf armor does not resemble anything from history.
• In the movie, Vlad's wife commits suicide because she believes that he has been killed in battle. The historical Vlad Ţepeş married twice. His first wife did commit suicide, but it was not because she grieved his death; their castle was under siege and, believing that there was no escape, she took her own life.
• Later on in the film, Dracula tells Mina that Elisabeta threw herself into the river which is now called Argeş, which he claims means "River of the Princess" in Romanian. The river named after Dracula's wife is in reality called Râul Doamnei ("the Lady's River"), and is a minor tributary of the Argeş.
• In the movie, Dracula is speaking Romanian while in Stoker's book he claims to be a Székely, meaning he would have spoken Hungarian. Although a deviation from the novel, it is the movie that is closer to reality as the historical Vlad Dracula was Romanian, not Székely. However, Dracula tells Harker that "Attila's blood flows in these veins", and later introduces himself to Mina as "Prince Vlad of Székely" (incorrectly identified in the DVD subtitles as "Saichait").
• Dracula is said to be a prince of Transylvania, when in reality Vlad was prince of Wallachia. The real princes of Transylvania at this time would have been Nicholas of Ujlak and John Pongracz.
• Blood transfusion was not quite as radical an idea in 1897 as the film implies. Successful blood transfusion with humans dates back to the 1840s.
• The costuming is often stylized to the point of no longer fitting into period.

Deleted scenes

There were an estimated 38 cuts from the movie before it was released theatrically. The large sum of cuts took place after test audiences reacted negatively to the original version. Recently, there have been copies of an uncut version circulating on eBay. Called the "Director's Cut," this version features 10-15 minutes more footage than the current 122-minute version. Much of the deleted footage and dialogue can be seen and heard in the theatrical trailer. Photos of deleted and alternate footage can be seen in the official movie book, trading cards, and comic series.

Television edit

In 1997, an edited version of the film was broadcast on the FOX network. This version cuts out the character of Renfield entirely. Other edits and changes are the introduction of the Brides who are clothed in rags as opposed to their seductive nude scene in the theatrical version. It also cuts out Dracula giving them the infant to feast on; instead Dracula converses with them about finding love. Scenes of Lucy's introduction have been re-dubbed due to her quirky remarks and the illustrations in the Arabian Nights book have been blacked out. Also, a part of Mina and Lucy’s later conversation in the garden as well as shots of the vessel Varna and Dracula howling as the wolf creature have been taken out completely.

The first attack of Lucy is shortened in the televised version. It cuts out some footage of Lucy walking around the maze and Mina calling and searching for her. Dubbed in is Mina calling "Lucy" several times more. Also cut is the scene in which Mina sees Dracula "raping" Lucy. Instead it appears that he just bites her throat. Also, Lucy's clothes aren't torn. In several scenes Lucy has violent fits, causing her chemise to fall open displaying one or both of her breasts. In the televised version she is portrayed with chemise intact due to digital paint and clever editing. Lucy's destruction is only hinted at and heard, but never shown.

Several scenes regarding Van Helsing have been removed, and his exorcism of Carfax Abbey has been trimmed. Shots of Mina drinking from Dracula's heart are shortened. The seduction of Van Helsing, and the destruction of the Brides are kept intact. Towards the ending the final shot of the sword piercing Dracula has been trimmed to eliminate blood flow.

• The character of Renfield is in this version, and plays a crucial part.
• More dialogue between Jonathan and Mr. Hawkins in the opening scenes.
• A scene of Dracula looking mournfully at Jonathan in the castle.
• Lucy's attack including the footage of her in the garden sleepwalking. The only cut being her nightgown whistling in the wind, and of Dracula's apparent rape.
• Added moans after Dracula first bites Lucy.
• The Van-Helsing introductory scenes are kept.
• In the final battle the knife slashing Dracula's throat has been trimmed by a few seconds to not show the graphic blood.
• The be-heading of Dracula by Mina has been altered. A scene that shows her looking at the dead Dracula with the knife protruding from his heart has been added, and then it cuts to her be-heading him. The camera is then focused on her as she stares upward cutting out the scene of Dracula's head falling.

In addition to these cuts, this version was presented without commercial interruption. Dwight Fry as Renfield in the 1931 adaptation of Dracula. ...
